That is not what it says, however. Len(MyString) will never return true. It might return 0. It might return 1. It might return 100. It will never return true. ColdFusion may interpret a non-zero result as true, but that is not what is returned. This is a side-effect of ColdFusion being a Loosely-typed language. I'm not saying it is wrong, I'm just saying I think it would be better read as: len(MyString) is 0 or Not Len(MySTring) is 0 -- Jeffry Houser | mailto:jeff@;farcryfly.com DotComIt, Putting you on the web AIM: Reboog711 | Phone: 1-203-379-0773 -- My CFMX Book: <http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0072225564/instantcoldfu-20> My Books: http://www.instantcoldfusion.com My Band: http://www.farcryfly.com ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Your ad could be here.
